It was in 1997, and the same year and same day that Princess Diana has passed away !(date on the pic).. We were there for about 2 days, Aug 31st to Sept 1st. I still remember that I was almost drowned in the miami beach..I had swum too far away, but got rescued by my good friend, whew :P

I finally got on the shore safely, rested enough, and we drove back home. On the way, we stopped by a convienient store and saw the shocking news of Princess Diana’s death..I felt an instant sadness, confusion, but at the same time felt grateful that I am still alive! Life is really precious, any one could be gone anytime!

I think from that trip, both me and my good friend, well, an American male friend, had gained some insights and things. At that time, he was constantly feeling sad, and trying to get over his break up with his Singaporean ex girlfriend(who is my good friend, still is, and she is living in Singapore now :)). It took him months to let go, and finally did it after the trip! =)

We didn’t party all night, but we did lots of walking around the entertainment area. It was very happening and fun place to be at. The entertainment scene was great, and lots of fine mexican food can be found here!

It’s a pity that I couldn’t get to go back to Miami & Key West again when I went back to the States about 9 mths ago, mainly due to the hurricane warning in the southern area. Only managed to visit Tampa, Orlanda, Clearwater, and St. Peterburg area.
